Cot Trig Identity Math
Cot x π cot x.
Cot trig identity math. In mathematics an identity is an equation which is always true. Note sec x is not the same as cos 1 x sometimes written as arccos x. Cosec x 1. These can be trivially right as x x or usefully true such as the pythagorean theorem s a b c for right triangles.
Tan x 180 tan x. These identities play a vital role in simplifying an experssion which has a trignometric identity. You can use this fact to help you keep straight that cosecant goes with sine and secant goes with cosine. Cot x 180 cot x.
Remember you cannot divide by zero and so these definitions are only valid when the denominators are not zero. Tan x 1 cot x sin x cos x tan x dfrac 1 cot x dfrac sin x cos x tan x cot x 1. Sec x 1. Tan x sin x.
Notice how a co something trig ratio is always the reciprocal of some non co ratio. Secant cosecant and cotangent almost always written as sec cosec and cot are trigonometric functions like sin cos and tan. Sin 2 θ cos 2 θ 1. Simplify a displaystyle tan theta cot theta.
Cot x 1 cos x.
